What can a cemetery teach us?

The Graveyard Digression - radio edit, is a sound journey dealing with the questions of how to organize death, and how the spaces for eternal rest act both as silent archives and as places of retreat, solace and refuge …for both living and dead, human and non-human visitors.

︎

The sound piece is a continuation, alteration, to the sound walk “The Graveyard Digression” that was part of PUBLIC RETREAT’s work for a group exhibition at SPARK, Malmö (SE) in October 2023.



“The Graveyard Digression - radio edit” is part of the larger art and architecture project - PUBLIC RETREAT - researching sound, art and architecture within our cities. PUBLIC RETREAT is supported by OCA (Office for contemporary Art Norway), Nordic Culture Fund, Nordic Culturepoint, Danish Composers’ Society, Danish Arts Foundation, Of Public Interest (OPI) and Sound Art Lab.
